One last thing to check, to see if you can just ignore bcharge on your
system. As root, try doing a:
btool -d "Address Book"
If you can access the database like this, then you don't need bcharge.
There are 3 issues involved here:
- battery charging (lsusb -v should report 500mA) which often needs
bcharge, but may not always, depending on your firmware
version
- database access, also often needs bcharge... test with btool
- drive mounting... never needs bcharge
It does sound like bcharge may need to be fixed for your particular device.
Unfortunately, I'd need a USB capture of how Windows handles this, in
order to fix it. Such captures need to be done with Windows in a
virtual machine, so that all resets and control messages are captured
outside of it.
Check if you can still access the database without bcharge, first.
